Recycle your Christmas Tree and help local people living with a terminal illness.
This festive season Birmingham Hospice is calling on the local community to give their Christmas trees a new purpose by supporting its annual Christmas Treecycling campaign.
The seasonal initiative gives people living in certain Birmingham postcodes the ability to book in their real tree for collection and make a donation, making it an easy and convenient way to support local hospice care.
Tree collections must be booked by Monday 5 January at 12 noon, and Birmingham Hospice volunteers will collect it from doorsteps between Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 January 2026.
Every tree collected is chipped then converted into biofuel for the local community, instead of ending up in landfill – making it an eco-friendly way to get rid of real trees after the festive season has ended.
Donations go directly to funding compassionate, specialist care. For example:
- £19 could pay for medicines to keep patients comfortable if they choose to spend their final days at home.
- £31 could fund an hour of community nursing – a lifeline for many during a difficult time.
- £59 could support one bereavement care session, helping families through grief during the festive season.
Roisin Mooney, Community Fundraising Campaigns Manager at Birmingham Hospice, said: “By taking part in Treecycling, you’re doing more than simply disposing of a Christmas tree, you are helping to support local families during some of the most difficult times of their lives.
“As well as reducing waste and supporting sustainability, you are contributing to hospice care that is often completely free for patients and their loved ones.
“Please support us this January — recycle your tree, donate what you can, and support end of life care this winter.”
